Setting monarch_cpu = -1 to let slaves frozen might not work, because
there might be slaves being late, not entered the rendezvous yet.
Such slaves might be caught in while (monarch_cpu == -1) loop.
Use kdump_in_progress instead of monarch_cpus to break INIT rendezvous
and let all slaves enter DIE_INIT_SLAVE_LEAVE smoothly.
And monarch no longer need to manage rendezvous if once kdump_in_progress
is set, catch the monarch in DIE_INIT_MONARCH_ENTER then.

kdump_on_init
CPUs should be frozen if possible, otherwise it might hinder kdump.
So if there are CPUs not respond to IPI, try INIT to stop them.

Summary:
Asserting INIT might block kdump if the system is already going to
start kdump via panic.
Description:
INIT can interrupt anywhere in panic path, so it can interrupt in
middle of kdump kicked by panic. Therefore there is a race if kdump
is kicked concurrently, via Panic and via INIT.
INIT could fail to invoke kdump if the system is already going to
start kdump via panic. It could not restart kdump from INIT handler
if some of cpus are already playing dead with INIT masked. It also
means that INIT could block kdump's progress if no monarch is entered
in the INIT rendezvous.
Panic+INIT is a rare, but possible situation since it can be assumed
that the kernel or an internal agent decides to panic the unstable
system while another external agent decides to send an INIT to the
system at same time.
How to reproduce:
Assert INIT just after panic, before all other cpus have frozen
Expected results:
continue kdump invoked by panic, or restart kdump from INIT
Actual results:
might be hang, crashdump not retrieved
Proposed Fix:
This patch masks INIT first in panic path to take the initiative on
kdump, and reuse atomic value kdump_in_progress to make sure there is
only one initiator of kdump. All INITs asserted later should be used
only for freezing all other cpus.
This mask will be removed soon by rfi in relocate_kernel.S, before jump
into kdump kernel, after all cpus are frozen and no-op INIT handler is
registered. So if INIT was in the interval while it is masked, it will
pend on the system and will received just after the rfi, and handled by
the no-op handler.
If there was a MCA event while psr.mc is 1, in theory the event will
pend on the system and will received just after the rfi same as above.
MCA handler is unregistered here at the time, so received MCA will not
reach to OS_MCA and will result in warmboot by SAL.
Note that codes in this masked interval are relatively simpler than
that in MCA/INIT handler which also executed with the mask. So it can
be said that probability of error in this interval is supposed not so
higher than that in MCA/INIT handler.

Summary:
Asserting INIT on cpu going to be offline will result in unexpected
behavior. It will be a real problem in kdump cases where INIT might
be asserted to unstable APs going to be offline by returning to SAL.
Description:
Since psr.mc is cleared when bits in psr are set to SAL_PSR_BITS_TO_SET
in ia64_jump_to_sal(), there is a small window (~few msecs) that the
cpu can receive INIT even if the cpu enter there via INIT handler.
In this window we do restore of registers for SAL, so INIT asserted
here will not work properly.
It is hard to remove this window by masking INIT (i.e. setting psr.mc)
because we have to unmask it later in OS, because we have to use branch
instruction (br.ret, not rfi) to return SAL, due to OS_BOOT_RENDEZ to
SAL return convention.
I suppose this window will not be a real problem on cpu offline if we
can educate people not to push INIT button during hotplug operation.
However, only exception is a race in kdump and INIT. Now kdump returns
APs to SAL before processing dump, but the kernel might receive INIT at
that point in time. Such INIT might be asserted by kdump itself if an
AP doesn't react IPI soon and kdump decided to use INIT to stop the AP.
Or it might be asserted by operator or an external agent to start dump
on the unstable system.
Such panic+INIT or INIT+INIT cases should be rare, but it will be happy
if we can retrieve crashdump even in such cases.
How to reproduce:
panic+INIT or INIT+INIT, with kdump configured
Expected results:
crashdump is retrieved anyway
Actual results:
panic, hang etc. (unexpected)
Proposed fix
To avoid the window on the way to SAL, this patch stops returning APs
to SAL in case of kdump. In other words, this patch makes APs spin
in OS instead of spinning in SAL.
(* Note: What impact would be there? If a cpu is spinning in SAL,
the cpu is in BOOT_RENDEZ loop, as same as offlined cpu.
In theory if an INIT is asserted there, cpus in the BOOT_RENDEZ loop
should not invoke OS_INIT on it. So in either way, no matter where
the cpu is spinning actually in, once cpu starts spin and act as
"frozen," INIT on the cpu have no effects.
From another point of view, all debug information on the cpu should
have stored to memory before the cpu start to be frozen. So no more
action on the cpu is required.)
I confirmed that the kdump sometime hangs by concurrent INITs (another
INIT after an INIT), and it doesn't hang after applying this patch.

Summary:
INIT asserted on kdump kernel invokes INIT handler not only on a
cpu that running on the kdump kernel, but also BSP of the panicked
kernel, because the (badly) frozen BSP can be thawed by INIT.
Description:
The kdump_cpu_freeze() is called on cpus except one that initiates
panic and/or kdump, to stop/offline the cpu (on ia64, it means we
pass control of cpus to SAL, or put them in spinloop). Note that
CPU0(BSP) always go to spinloop, so if panic was happened on an AP,
there are at least 2cpus (= the AP and BSP) which not back to SAL.
On the spinning cpus, interrupts are disabled (rsm psr.i), but INIT
is still interruptible because psr.mc for mask them is not set unless
kdump_cpu_freeze() is not called from MCA/INIT context.
Therefore, assume that a panic was happened on an AP, kdump was
invoked, new INIT handlers for kdump kernel was registered and then
an INIT is asserted. From the viewpoint of SAL, there are 2 online
cpus, so INIT will be delivered to both of them. It likely means
that not only the AP (= a cpu executing kdump) enters INIT handler
which is newly registered, but also BSP (= another cpu spinning in
panicked kernel) enters the same INIT handler. Of course setting of
registers in BSP are still old (for panicked kernel), so what happen
with running handler with wrong setting will be extremely unexpected.
I believe this is not desirable behavior.
How to Reproduce:
Start kdump on one of APs (e.g. cpu1)
# taskset 0x2 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Then assert INIT after kdump kernel is booted, after new INIT handler
for kdump kernel is registered.
Expected results:
An INIT handler is invoked only on the AP.
Actual results:
An INIT handler is invoked on the AP and BSP.
Sample of results:
I got following console log by asserting INIT after prompt "root:/>".
It seems that two monarchs appeared by one INIT, and one panicked at
last. And it also seems that the panicked one supposed there were
4 online cpus and no one did rendezvous:
:
[ 0 %]dropping to initramfs shell
exiting this shell will reboot your system

INIT swapper 0[0]: bugcheck! 0 [1]
:
<<snip>>
:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
Proposed fix:
To avoid this problem, this patch inserts ia64_set_psr_mc() to mask
INIT on cpus going to be frozen. This masking have no effect if the
kdump_cpu_freeze() is called from INIT handler when kdump_on_init == 1,
because psr.mc is already turned on to 1 before entering OS_INIT.
I confirmed that weird log like above are disappeared after applying
this patch.

This patch fixes the problem that kdump by INIT does not work if we use
makedumpfile. The problem is that after INIT is issued, 2nd kernel
starts and makedumpfile fails with the following error message.
/proc/vmcore doesn't contain vmcoreinfo.
'-x' or '-i' must be specified.
makedumpfile Failed.
The cause of this problem is that kernel does not call
crash_save_vmcoreinfo. When kdump starts by panic or sysrq-trigger,
crash_save_vmcoreinfo is called by crash_kexec. But this function is not
called when kdump starts by INIT. The Attached patch fixes this.
This patch just adds crash_save_vmcoreinfo into machine_kdump_on_init so
that crash_save_vmcoreinfo can be called when kdump starts by INIT.
I tested this patch with linux-2.6.25-rc9 and I confirmed it worked.

While it is convenient that we can invoke kdump by asserting INIT
via button on chassis etc., there are some situations that invoking
kdump on fatal MCA is not welcomed rather than rebooting fast without
dump.
This patch adds a new flag 'kdump_on_fatal_mca' that is independent
from 'kdump_on_init' currently available. Adding this flag enable
us to turning on/off of kdump depend on the event, INIT and/or fatal
MCA. Default for this flag is to take the dump.

Fix the problem that kdump on INIT hung up if kdump kernel image is
not configured.
The kdump_init_notifier() on monarch CPU stops its operation at
DIE_INIT_MONARCH_LEAVE time if the kdump kernel image is not
configured. On the other hand, kdump_init_notifier() on non-monarch
CPUs get into spin because they don't know the fact the monarch stops
its operation. This is the cause of this problem. To fix this problem,
we need to check the kdump kernel image at the top of the
kdump_init_notifier() function.

The current implementation of kdump on INIT events would enter
kdump processing on DIE_INIT_MONARCH_ENTER and DIE_INIT_SLAVE_ENTER
events. Thus, the monarch cpu would go ahead and boot up the kdump
On SN shub2 systems, this out-of-sync situation causes some slave
cpus on different nodes to enter POD.
This patch moves kdump entry points to DIE_INIT_MONARCH_LEAVE and
DIE_INIT_SLAVE_LEAVE. It also sets kdump_in_progress variable in
the DIE_INIT_MONARCH_PROCESS event to not dump all active stack
traces to the console in the case of kdump.

Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is
set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES. Which in turn is
currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures.
While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too
small. The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes. This
lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would
overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially
by kmalloc, which was often the case.
It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that
the area needs to be. This patch does just that.
If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is
needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in
arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h. Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice. However, I
think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for
keeping the options separate. I am thinking particularly of people
who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile
in kexec.
The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of
KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on
CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell
it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines.
